The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 2105

The next day.

Early morning.

Charlotte's biological clock naturally woke her up. She lazily lifted her eyelids, a few faint red veins tracing the whites of her eyes.

Used to having someone beside her, she hadn't slept well at all last night, waking up several times in the middle of the night.

Kenneth's award ceremony was scheduled for three in the afternoon. There were still five or six hours until it began.

After freshening up, Charlotte threw on a set of casual, comfortable clothes. She tucked her smooth, long hair behind her ears and pulled on a black baseball cap, concealing most of her exquisitely beautiful face.

The moment she stepped out the door, she ran into Shirley and Stella.

"Charlotte."

Seeing her, Shirley instantly bounded over, affectionately linking arms with her and resting her chin on Charlotte's shoulder. She asked with a bright smile, "Let's go grab breakfast together."

"Mhm."

Charlotte pinched her cheek. Just as she spoke, Kenneth and Andrew emerged from another room.

Consequently, the seating arrangement at breakfast became incredibly awkward.

Charlotte sat in the middle, with Shirley and Emily flanking her on either side. Their respective boyfriends hovered right beside them, attentively serving them food and feeding them.

Tsk.

Being the lonely third wheel was sure shining a bright spotlight on her solitude.

"I'm full."

Putting down her silverware, Charlotte unlocked her phone and dialed Anthony's number.

It connected quickly, but it was Hans who answered.

"Ma'am, Anthony is in a meeting. It's not convenient for him to take a call right now."

"A meeting?" Charlotte checked the time, furrowing her brows slightly. "At this hour, it's the middle of the night back home. He's still in a meeting?"

"..."

Hans's nerves instantly tightened, but he replied calmly, "Yes, the contract is critical, and the other party is dragging their feet."

He's pushing himself too hard!
